Us as women always seem to have so much of our plates. Our families, our friends, our households… But we also have our careers. And I am sure I am not the only one that feels that one or more of these have been neglected because of my career. I know that I put in over 60 hours of work weekly, if not more. I have jumped feet first into my business and my career to help make my dreams come true. I’ve been told I work too much, that I have an obsessive personality, that I’m a bad friend… I have been told a lot of things from people who love me very much. People who are concerned that I’m working too hard. But in my mind, I’m providing for myself, trying to reach levels of success I hadn’t before, and make a better life for my future. I know I'm not the only working woman that feels this way. The feeling as if I have let people down due to my obsession to work harder. But as I reached higher, I realized I had nothing to feel bad or guilty about. That my actions and hard work had broug…

If you've followed me for any length of time, you know that I love writing. Enough so, that I've quite my day job to pursue it full time. Now I am happy and proud to share my first book you! I couldn't be more excited to finally be able to call myself an author.

I'm usually not one to write on other people's beliefs and lives, but in the last couple of days I've seen so much that I have to ask, are we all going fucking crazy?! We have all become so afraid of being politically correct that we can't call bullshit when we see it. The topics I am referring to is Rachel Dolezal (who I've written an article on before) Now I’m going to stress I’m not downplaying anyone for feeling a certain way. But it is when people are getting recognition and the fact that this is now considered news. Here is my humble opinion on the Rachel Dolezal situation:

Have
you ever felt that you didn't know what you where doing with your life? Well that is how
I was feeling. I quit my job to follow my passion of writing, however a little
over a month has gone by and I was seemingly lost in my decision. I have never
not worked... I have never been without a job this long willingly, and it was
really fucking with me. I wanted to share the gambit of feeling I went through
with you to hopefully help someone else who may be going through this very same
thing.

When you are starting a new business,
having a business plan is vital. However, when you are an aspiring author and
writer, coming up with a traditional business plan is may be a bit more
difficult. Due to traditional publishing being so competitive and self-publishers
coming out of the wood work, it is even more critical to have a business plan
for yourself if you are going to become a successful full time writer.

As a new budding author,
planning to self-publish, I have heard more than once that you need both
quality and quantity for your readers to have. With that I know it is important
to get readers in the first place. I have been using twitter for some time and
I heard that Google+ is a great avenue as well. I went on and created a
community for Dames who wanted to talk about their writing and blogging.

So after finding iAuthor I
wanted to push myself with my writing and I came up with my own personal challenge.
(more on this to be featured in an article Monday 2/20/14). I am going to be selecting an iAuthor photo
and creating a short story from it, every week, for four weeks. I thought it would be great if
you wanted to join me. I wanted this to be a twofold challenge.

A challenge
for Yourself: To me
this is the most important challenge, and the entire reason that I even thought
about this. I feel it’s important to always push and challenge yourself to be
the best writer you can be. Compete with Others: To make
this a true challenge I thought it would be interesting to post the short
stories right here on Dame in the Life and have people vote on their favorites.
I know there are platforms out there for these things but I think it would be
fun to share this with my readers. Rules
